- ἐρωτάω erōtáō · G2065 · to ask, to ask a question, to ask for
- ἐρωτάω is a general term for asking or questioning that can carry hostile overtones in context (e.g., Luke 20:40), whereas ἀποστοματίζω specifically denotes aggressive, rapid-fire questioning intended to provoke or catch someone in error. Both can describe hostile interrogation, but ἀποστοματίζω is more specialized and intense.
